Welcome back to Sport Psych: The Next Edge…. And get excited because this is the first episode in the series titled the Athlete Perspective, where we get to talk with current and former athletes on their experience with mental performance training and how they trained their minds to give their game the next edge.

I am extremely excited to introduce our first guest for the Athlete Perspective series. Dimitrije is a former Division I basketball player that competed at James Madison University, and where he also earned both his Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees. He was a part of the team, that in 2013 won a conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division-I tournament. Strongly influenced by his playing career, his research interests in the field of exercise physiology are primarily directed towards the enhancement of sports performance.

Enjoy as we learn more about Dimitrije’s experience with mental performance coaching and how those experiences have influenced his research today!
